WWE and WWF wrestler, Hulk Hogan, real name
Terry Bollea, took the stand today in his $100,000,000
lawsuit against the website Gawker, owned by Nick Denton.
Hogan was conducting an extramarital affair with the wife of
his then best friend, radio host, Bubba The Love Sponge
Clem, with his knowledge and permission, in what is an
unwise and unethical open marriage. Hogan states he was
unaware Bubba The Love Sponge Clem was using a hidden camera
to make a sex tape of Hogan and his wife. Bubba The Love
Sponge Clem then leaked the video to Gawker.

Hogan stated in court, "I was embarrassed by
what it did to me as a person, but it was even embarrassing
as a character. Hulk Hogan was embarrassed." Denton argued
his parents saw during the Holocaust "First hand what
happens when free speech is suppressed." Firstly, this is
exactly why Denton should have more respect for the human
rights of others and not criminally aide in the violation of
their privacy. The Jews were treated very badly, denied all
privacy and human rights in general. Secondly, don't invoke
the horrible Holocaust, something so serious that is a
terrible human atrocity where people were murdered, as a
legal defense for violating the rights of others. It is
insulting. Thirdly, leaked a secretly made sex tape has
nothing to do with free speech. You criminally violated
Hogan's human rights.

So, Denton, following your illogical,
defective defense, another blogger would have the right to
secretly install a hidden camera in your bedroom and
bathroom, then unbeknownst to you record you in states of
undress and engaging in sexual activity, then publish it to
their blog? You would sue them into poverty if you were
disgustingly violated in that manner, so stop pretending.

As a writer and blogger, who has respect for
the law and people's rights, I am of the belief, Gawker had
absolutely no right to post the secretly made sex tape of
Hogan. What Gawker did was unkind, cruel and criminal. There
is a depravity that exists today among some in society,
emanating from Hollywood, where select people think they
have the right to secretly spy on others in their homes and
hotel rooms. It is perverted, sick and demonic. It is a sign
of serious mental illness that is a threat to society.

They keep pushing the envelope with this
vile behavior, moving the goalpost each time in trying to
get the public to accept the unacceptable as normal behavior
and next thing you know, they will are going to try to
excuse secretly spying on underage children in their homes
and bathrooms in states of undress. Some are already
engaging in this abominable conduct and deserve to be locked
up for a long stretch of time over it, as they are a danger
to society. Some are already under indictment and in prison
for the aforementioned behavior.

Congress has not done enough to protect the
public from mentally deranged voyeurs. Psychiatry lists
voyeurism as a mental disorder. It is nasty. They are also
sexual predators. It is not something to be celebrated or
encouraged. Many U.S. states have criminal laws against it,
but serious, sweeping federal legislation that would cover
the entire country needs to be passed to protect the public.
